Is it normal i have memories of fighting in the civil war?

I feel like a was a soldier for the North in the Civil War. Not only in my sleep do these images occur, but also when I am not doing anything at the moment. I was a young lad and very scared at was to become of me. I only lasted two days before we fought a battle against the South and I was a casualty. It makes me sad to think about my mum and dad's faces when they heard the news their only son was dead. is it normal to have these memories?

    Maybe you should contact a psychic medium. To see if your dreams might be real life memories.

    Bet you a dollar you're a schizophrenic. Talk to a licensed therapist or dr.

    This is very interesting. You should contact a psychic medium . You were probablly a soldier in the civil war in your past life. Thats really cool, not alot of people have that psychic ability.

    I think thats really cool. Who knows? I believe in reincarnation, so maybe you're remembringn a past life or something. Either that, or you watch way too much history channel before bed.

    My best guess would be that some part of you connects very strongly with images and stories from the Civil War period. It's normal to become attached to things like this - it happens to people with books, movies, countries (we all know someone obsessed with Japan!), time periods, and so on and so forth.

    There could also be a somewhat latent desire for escape from reality there as well. Escapism is a very common theme among people, and while it doesn't necessarily mean there's anything "wrong" or "abnormal" with you, excessive reliance on escapism can be detrimental to your life.

    I would personally suggest taking some time to think about what the images you see of the Civil War mean to you.

    You mention fear of death when called upon to fight. A lot of people fear not living up to expectations, be they their own or others. You also mention your parents remorse upon hearing about your death. A lot of people want to feel reassured that their parents care about them. Perhaps the mentioning of both of these things together could indicate a part of you that feels worried about not living up to your parents expectations, and wanting to know that even if you didn't, they would still care about you and love you?

    Only you know the answers, and I think the best thing to do is start asking yourself the questions, or to see if you can find a counselor or therapist you get along with and like, and share these things with him or her.

    Why does your uniform need so many buttons? If you persist with this, there'll be a world button shortage.

      Hey, he might be a button waster, but i'll forgive him. He didn't sleep with his sister or have sex with a dog one time in this entire question!

    Sometimes I feel like I'm the only Sane Person here.

    But then I take two Aspirin and lie down.

    The thought persists though.

      To be helpful-

      Unless you have Proof for this beyond ambiguous mental intuitions, it's not normal.
